Month: April 2012

Congratulations to Joyce Clayton, the winner of the gift basket in the library’s recent “National Library Week” prize drawing!

We had so many entries in the drawing, that we decided to give away another prize.   Congratulations to Don and Verna Zoucha for winning JA Jance’s current hardcover book “Left for Dead” and a library keepsake mug! 🙂

 

The next “Gardening Throughout the Year” class is this Thursday, April 19th at 7:00 p.m. in the library meeting room.  This month’s topic is “Unusual Food Plants for Your Garden”.  Luddene Perry will be covering topics such as:  *What are honeyberries, seaberries and pawpaws? *Unknown tasty vegetables  *Perennial plants vs annuals There is no cost for the class.  Everyone is welcome!

In celebration of National Library Week, April 8^th-14^th, the library will have an “Amnesty Week” to encourage patrons to return their overdue library items.  To participate, we are asking that patrons return their overdue items, along with a canned or non- perishable food item for each overdue item.  Have an existing fine on your account?  Patrons that owe existing fines for previously returned items may have a chance to reduce their debt owed by 50% during the week, by bringing in a food item to donate for each existing fine.  Food donations are welcome even if no fines are owed.  All food items collected will be donated to the local food pantry.

Tuesday, April 10^th, will be “Tea Tuesday”.  We will offer tea and refreshments for those who stop by between 1:00 and 4:00 that afternoon.

Patrons may also stop by throughout the week, to sign up for a prize drawing to win a gift basket.  The gift basket includes:  a hardcover book on the current “New York Times Best Sellers List” (“Lone Wolf” by Jodi Picoult), a Central City Public Library keepsake mug, some delicious snack food, and a bookmark!
